About Me

It was Liberty that inspired our Forefathers to settle in a land without undue encumbrances. It was Liberty that raised their guns in defiance of despotic rule. It was for the dream to maintain that hard won Liberty paid for with the sacrifice of blood, lives, and tears that our Forefathers instituted the Supreme Law to be that which ties the hands of government and protects our Natural Liberty. It was for Liberty that men fought to free other men from the shackles of slavery and it was the dream of Liberty that inspired a generation of people to stand against the oppression of unjust law.

Before we can understand what we have lost, we must understand what we had. In the beginning, even before we instituted societies, we had Liberty; it is the Natural State of humanity governed by Natural law. Natural Law’s demands are simple; it simply requires that no one person should interfere with another’s life, liberty, or possessions. Therefore, the Law of a correct society should only be that which is needed to protect those who follow the demands of Natural law, from those who do not. Then we are truly free to pursue our lives as long as we follow natural law.

When the laws of Government no matter the intent, proceed as to elevate themselves above Natural law, encroach upon and cross the line, no longer only protecting our Natural Liberty, but instead postures itself as to impose it’s will, claiming a place in it’s arrogance above Natural Law, and above the Sovereign people it is to Serve, it becomes the very essence of that which it was instituted to protect us against. It no longer serves Liberty, it suppresses it.

It is in this state we find our Liberty today, Trodden, abused, and oppressed. No longer can we pursue our lives in freedom, legal action is around every corner and even breathing may soon be taxed. The long reaching hand of government is felt in every corner of our lives, from the theft of our life through unwarranted taxation and the ideals of socialism and communism; to the simplest acts such as Lemonade Stands, Garage sales, Property ownership and development, the kind of speech we cannot use, where we cannot engage in religious speech or prayer, illegal warrantless searches, the oppression of gun ownership and right to carry, and even the policing of thought. These are just a few of the ways our government has put our Liberty in exile. We have seen the abuses of power that led to the bailouts of corrupt institutions, and industries which have been nearly destroyed by corrupt government mandates and special interests. It is time we realize, the only bailout we need, the only bailout that will actually work, is simple.

We must Bailout Liberty!

When we are free to pursue our lives in peace, we work, we save, we build, we create jobs, and yes, we spend.

Only through our direct involvement and contribution will those men and women who support Natural Law, our Liberty, and its protecting document The Constitution, have the opportunity to serve in such a bold yet humble way. It is their desire to Restore the Constitution and thereby Save our Republic, not only for themselves but for all Americans and our collective posterity. They are the new Jeffersons, Franklins, Paines, Washingtons, Hamiltons, Henrys, and they need our help.

RJ Harris is just such a patriot. He has vowed to never solicit campaign money from lobbyists or corporate interests; therefore, he is in need of our help. We find hope in RJ and he finds his in us. Surprisingly, it doesn’t require a second mortgage, or the emptying of a college fund to help. In fact, we are simply asking you to dedicate to give just a dollar a week, if you can do more, please do. RJ’s donation page has a convenient way for you to set up a regular monthly contribution. Please go there today and solidify your stand to help Bailout Liberty by donating to RJ’s campaign. http://www.facebook.com/l/54af7;www.rjharris2010.com/donate.asp

For LIBERTY!Rob Work

We cannot know the hour when the Spirit of the Founders will call upon us to fight for Freedom and defend Liberty; but answer the call we must! Thank you Rob for this inspiring call to action.

Firstly, we’ve launched a brand new website www.rjharris2010.com with added features, usability, and a plethora of new content. In addition to the new website we have kicked our internet marketing into full gear. We will be sending out weekly updates and new blogs just about every day on our new blogs & news section. You may also subscribe to our new RSS Feed as well. Overall, our internet marketing game has increased two-fold. While our internet marketing has all ready overwhelmed our opposition (e.g. search engine results overly defeat Tom Cole’s), these new changes will take us over the top.

Secondly, we’ve hired several interns who are helping us with various positions in the campaign previously unmanaged.

Thirdly, RJ Harris is coming to the big screen!

Joined by some of the greatest champions for freedom and liberty of our age, including Ron Paul, G Edward Griffin, Adam Kokesh and many others, RJ speaks about the recent outgrowths of the modern progressive movement in the United States and what we must do to restore our Republic and our Constitution. “A New America Movie” will premiere in Oklahoma at the “Starplex Cinemas”, Robinson Crossing in Norman, on the first weekend in October. (Exact date and time will be released shortly.)

Below is a message from RJ: __________________________________________________________

Please make a donation today to help us pay for advertising during the Glenn Beck Program for the premier. We all ready have the commercials developed; we just need help paying for the airtime. This premier is the headline event this campaign needs to show the 15% undecided’s (from the poll discussed below) the strength and viability of my campaign.Private Poll shows the Oklahoma 4th District Congressional Race to be a close one!

The number of undecided-votes clearly shows Harris within striking distance of an incumbent that should have had all undecided-votes nailed down years ago. Moreover, this is how things stand with RJ having raised only $22,000 to date. Imagine what these numbers would look like with another $100k behind RJ?! This poll was conducted by Persistence Consulting LLC and included only likely Republican primary voters from the 4th district. New political activists, which cannot be counted due to their lack of primary participation up till recently, are expected to break for the grass-roots candidate; RJ.

My friends, this seat is wide open and it is time we show the establishment that we mean to take it from them.

Lastly, we want to thank you for your donations and support. Without the help of patriots like you we wouldn’t be at 31% and RJ wouldn’t be featured in this amazing documentary. We are putting your money to good use, and we will absolutely win this election!

Sep 12, 2009 – -- Oklahoma -- As Glenn Beck and the 912 movement march on Washington today, the answers that they are looking for have all ready been put into place. Across the country there are candidates standing up calling themselves 912 candidates.

RJ Harris was the first 912 candidate in the nation. He full heartedly agreed to sign the contract and submit to the principles and values articulated by Glenn Beck and the 912 Project. Today as thousands march on D.C., and millions watch around the world, Mr. Harris is preparing for the biggest battle of our generation. The battle to restore our constitution, republic, and the 9 principles and 12 values of the 912 project is among us.

Harris believes that we can win this battle through peaceful, yet strongly motivated, activism and charge to take back our Congress!

In the midst of bailouts, socialism, GIVE acts, continued involvement into our personal lives, and the expansion of the Federal Government, there are individuals and large bodies of activists coming together for the cause of Freedom. Harris has the integrity and leadership—being a Sgt. And leader of two platoons in the Army National Guard, and an expert on the U.S. Constitution – to lead other 912 candidates and this great nation in the fight to restore our Republic!

Recently, Tom Cole articulated that the American People want another (different from the current) federal plan for health care. My interactions with the people of the 4th district tell me that what they want is NO federal health care plan and for the federal government to get out of the peoples private health care business. Indeed the intuitions of the people are insightful considering that Article I Sec. 8 of the Constitution gives the Congress the power to "provide for the general Welfare of the United States." This qualifying clause refers to the nation-state and not to individuals. In fact, individual Welfare, which is what health care is, does not appear anywhere in the Constitution. So when Tom Cole articulates that we need "a plan", and insinuates that that plan be a federal plan, one provided by big government Republicans as opposed to big government Democrats, he is advocating an un-constitutional position on the issue.

Additionally, Cole advocated the creation of a "national health insurance market." Where does the Constitutional authority for this come from? Markets are created by the people not the state. However, I will concede that, at least in this area, Cole is in the right neighborhood. This is because the limits of the federal Congresses ability to effect health care is to use it’s legitimate commerce clause power, also found in Article I Sec. 8, to ensure that the states are not allowed to erect trade barriers that undermine the free flow of goods and or services between themselves, in this case; health insurance.

Some have added (not Cole that I know of) that tort reform is needed to "fix" what ails healthcare. This is correct save that tort reform is a power reserved to the states under the 10th amendment. I do not trust, nor have the people consented, to allow the federal Congress to do anything not expressly enumerated in the Constitution. Thus, short of a Constitutional amendment, the states need to address the issue of tort reform and those states that do a good job on that issue will attract better health care providers.

Lastly, Cole’s inability to call a lie a lie is exactly the type of word playing that We the People have come to expect from politicians and are fed up with. So to Cole I say this: “if you don’t have the courage to speak the truth and stand by Congressman Joe Wilson then how can the people of the 4th district count on your courage to stand up to this president when he comes to take our liberty’?

RJ Harris to take questions at the Ada Tea Party in Ada, Oklahoma 4th District

Oklahoma- September 10, 2009 RJ Harris will be a featured panel member at the Ada Tea Party this Friday, September 11, 2009. The event will take place at the Pontotoc Technology Center Auditorium in Ada, OK.

Other guests on the panel include Senator Randy Brogdon, Attorney General Drew Edmondson, and Oklahoma 5th District Candidate Dr. Johnny Roy M.D.

Each panelist will have several minutes to discuss their platform. They will then be put to a question and answer session from those in attendance.

The number of undecided-votes clearly shows Harris within striking distance of an incumbent that should have had all undecided-votes nailed down years ago. This poll was conducted by Persistence Consulting LLC and included likely Republican primary voters from the 4th district.

This news comes after Harris’s campaign has announced its’ current election -contributions at $21,699.69. The highest amount raised by democratic opposition to Rep. Tom Cole in the past three election cycles was $29,344 by Hal Spake in 2006. Harris has surpassed the record of the other two democrat opponents from 2004 and 2008. Rep. Tom Cole has not faced a Republican Primary challenge since 2002. If these numbers indicate anything, it’s that Rep. Tom Cole’s primary race is shaping up to be tougher than his last three general election races against the Democrats.

RJ Harris is an Iraq War Veteran, and a pronounced Constitutional Conservative Republican, living in Norman Oklahoma. His website is www.rjharris2010.com

Rarely will the Spirit of our Founders call upon us to defend freedom at the hour of our choosing…but when called we must answer and pour once more into the breach FOR LIBERTY! If you are ready to answer that call, then file to run for Congress in your district and join the Liberty Candidate Movement to retake the Congress. The body politic is waking up like no time since the founding of the Republic. Now is the time for you to mount a social networking campaign site and begin posting your positions on the issues. You don’t even need a dedicated website right away; Facebook or MySpace [pay pal/Amazon for your donations] will do fine for now. However, you must read the Constitution thoroughly while writing and articulating your positions and be ready to use that knowledge to answer questions from constituents/the media on the fly. You will find that the more you have the Constitution memorized, the more bold and confident you will be standing up for freedom, liberty and state sovereignty. Whatever you do, don’t give into the temptation to accept favors from lobbyists or the establishment. Stay true to the cause and the message and then expect that the supporters will find you.

I will do all that I can to help you but you must position yourself for the coming surge. In a few months time, the awaking wave of tea party patriots and town hall marchers will look to find citizen statespersons to vote for against the bailout voters, socialists, corporatists and big government progressives who have usurped power from the people. Money, power and privilege, the very strengths of the political class, will be their undoing in the next two election cycles for sure. Voters will look for those of clear grass roots origin with backgrounds of selfless service to support. Nevertheless, if you are not in the firing line when the smoke clears and the gap opens all will be for naught.

If you already have a real Liberty Candidate running in your district, Please get behind him/her and help as much as you can. We will accomplish so much more working together than helping the establishment by splitting up the votes. Your service will be remembered by the constituents you organize on behalf of the Candidate you support and your time to do more will come as those elected ahead of you move on to other tasks. And we will move on because there is a need for Constitutional Conservatism at all levels.

Those that have served with me in the field, now is the hour of your country’s need for which you have trained. Take up the cause and answer the call. The Spirit of the Founders is with us and under that Divine Providence; we will save the Republic and restore the Constitution.
